Earth observation is moving beyond single-sensor capabilities toward a holistic, multi-physics approach. By fusing Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR), thermal imaging, and hyperspectral data, operators can unlock unprecedented insights about our planet. This session explores the technical hurdles and massive market potential of stacking diverse sensor modalities on agile smallsat platforms.
